OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING:
1. Mount the Camera in a position where it cannot be be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.
2. The mounting surface should be capable of supporting the weight of both the Camera and mounting brackets under
all expected conditions of load, vibration and temperature.
3. The mounting brackets should be fitted in accordance with instructions and should observe all appropriate safety
precautions & local building regulations.
4. Ensure the Camera is in the correct orientation, see FIG B above.
1INSTALLING THE CAMERA HEAD
1.1 CONVERT DOME TO BALL PTZ CONFIGURATION
The RVX Series can be mounted as a dome or ball PTZ configuration. To convert the dome to ball PTZ remove the M4
button head screws with 2.5mm allen key provided. See FIG A below.
1.2 ATTACHING CAMERA TO BRACKET
B
BR RA AC CK KE ET TI IN NS ST TA AL LL LA AT TI IO ON N: :
Fixings to the various bracket types will depend on the fixing surface. It is important to use adequate quality fixings to
safely support the complete Dome/Ball PTZ assembly. Fixing slots on a 4” PCD provide adequate clearance for 6mm
bolts if attaching the Pedestal or Swan Mount to the mast.
F
FL LY YI IN NG GL LE EA AD D: :
If using a Swan/Pedestal/Pendant Mount, install the Fly Lead optionally through the Central Mounting Tube or via a
20mm Gland Entry Point. The Gland Entry is supplied with a 20 x 1mm thread to accomodate industry standard 20mm
Glands.

TECH SUPPORT COMMENT: It is important to match the menu software settings to the Camera
orientation (6.4.7) i.e. is the Camera hanging down or upright?
‘hanging down’ would be using one of the following bracket types :
•swan [RV-SWAN] ,
•pendant [RV-PNDT]
•or wall [RV-WALL] - NOT SUITABLE FOR UPRIGHT MOUNTING
‘Upright’ would be using the pedestal bracket [RV-PED]
A
AT TT TA AC CH HI IN NG GC CA AM ME ER RA AT TO OT TH HE EB BR RA AC CK KE ET T: :See Fig C & D below
1. Remove Mount Cover Plate.
2. Fully unscrew Hand Lock Nut.
3. Offer Camera to Bracket. The Mounting Boss orientation is important and should match the picture in FIG C & D below.
i.e The Flat Edge should be positioned to the rear and the Retaining Lugs engaged in the Boss Cut Outs.
4. If RV-PED (Pedestal) is being used support the Camera with hand when tightening the Hand Lock Nut - ensure the
Hand Lock Nut is fully tightened.
5. Ensure the Clearance is even throughout 360° rotation and the Camera is free moving.
6. Replace Mount Cover Plates.
1.3 BRACKET TYPES
RV-SWAN (Swan mount), RV-WALL (Wall mount), RV-PNDT (Pendant mount), RV-PED (Pedestal for mast/tower mount).
1.4 HOW TO CANTILEVER BALL/PTZ ARMS FORWARD
1. Remove pear shaped badge on each arm using small flat head screw driver.
2. Slightly loosen by one turn (BUT DO NOT REMOVE) the allen screws.
3. Cantilever the Ball Arms forward to ‘STOP’ position.
4. Tighten allen screws.
5. Replace badges (spares are provided).
6. See Section 6.4.7 and from the SET UP MENU select either ‘UPRIGHT ARMS OUT’ or ‘HANGING ARMS OUT’

2HOW TO CONFIGURE THE CAMERA
2.1 REMOVING THE DIP SWITCH SCREW COVER
There are two rows of DIP switches located behind the large screw cap (see FIG 1 below). Use flat bladed screw driver to
remove by turning anti-clockwise to unscrew.
2.1.2 DEFAULT DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
All X-series™ cameras are factory defaulted to the following configuration:
•BBV Up The Coax (UTC)
•Camera address set to 1
•RS485 termination set to ON
•Real-time clock set to OFF
2.1.1 CAMERA ORIENTATION FOR SETTING DIP SWITCHES
CAUTION: Make sure the dip switches read right way up before configuring Camera. The word ‘protocol’
should be displayed as per picture see FIG 2 below
Ô‘ON’ is down (away from the word protocol)
Ô ‘OFF’ is up (toward the word protocol)
The switch numbers read 1 to 8 from left to right
THE BAUD & PROTOCOL SWITCHES (ROW A) WORK AS FOLLOWS:
SWITCH 1,2,3 PROTOCOL (SEE 2.3)
SWITCH 4 & 5 BAUD RATE (2.4)
SWITCH 6 NOT USED

2.6 REAL TIME CLOCK (RTC)
Row A, switch 7 sets the Camera’s internal real time clock. The RTC is used for setting the cameras’ internal clock & can be
used for programming timed tours as well as RVX Series alarm functions (if using RVX-PSU-ALM16/W). The RTC battery
can be set to ‘ON’ either at commissioning or installation stage. The default position is OFF (UP).
TABLE 5
2.7 REPLACING THE DIP SWITCH COVER
•Before replacing the DIP switch screw cap, it is important to check it is free of dirt and grit. Thread
contamination could affect the waterproof seal.
•The thread should be carefully aligned to prevent burring.
•Using a large flat bladed screw driver turn the screw CLOCKWISE to tighten.
CAUTION: Termination switch should be set to ON (down) if:
ÔThe Camera is being run on coax protocol
ÔThe Camera is the only one connected to the twisted pair
ÔThe Camera is last one on a daisy chain
ÔAn alarm module has been fitted to the Camera power supply & is running 485 protocol
The termination switch should be OFF(up) if:
More than one Camera is connected on a DAISY CHAIN but it is NOT the last in line [The exception
would be if an alarm module were installed. If this were the case, the Camera should be terminated
(ON/DOWN) and the alarm module would un-terminated (OFF/UP) see section 4.5 Setting the Alarm
Module RS485 Termination].
2.5 SETTING THE CAMERA RS485 TERMINATION
The default position is ON (down).

3POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION & SETUP
Camera Warranty is void unless it is installed using one of the following Redvision power supplies and a Redvision supplied
fly lead (Composite cable): Using the wrong type of 3rd party PSU could compromise safety and damage the camera unit.
•RVX-PSU • RVX-PSU-ALM16 •RVX-PSU-ALAM16-W
The RVX Power Supplies are compatible with the following X-Series Cameras:
RVX18, RVX18-W, RVX18-IR, RVX18-IR-W, RVX28, RVX28-W, RVX28-IR, RVX28-IR-W.
COMPOSITE CABLE: A pre-made composite cable with a 7 way female amphenol connector is supplied with all Redvision
brackets. The female connector connects directly to the male connector on the RVX PTZ Camera housing. Follow the colour
coding idents as shown in table 3.2.2 for terminating the fly lead in the power supply.

3.1 REDVISION POWER SUPPLY (RVX-PSU)
1. Mount the Redvision PSU in a position so it cannot be interfered with
intentionally or accidentally. Ideally use a lockable cabinet .
2. Securely fix the Redvision PSU using appropriate size screws and ensure the
cable glands have sufficient clearance to allow the cables to enter.
3. All cables should be channelled through the appropriate sized gland holes.
4. It is recommended that a good quality screened data pair or coax is used for
transmitting data signal.
5. If the Redvision alarm module and or wireless PIR module is to be used refer
to section 4 and 5.
6. If Star configuration is used it is recommended a suitable Star Card interface is used.
7. Only use Redvision supplied umbilical cables for connecting
the X-SERIES ball/PTZ dome & Redvision PSU. Warranty will be void if these
cables are extended between the PTZ/dome unit and PSU. Extending cables
could also compromise safety.

•Switches 4 to 8 (Dome Head Site Code) provide up to 32 (1 to
16 shown in TABLE 19) channels of wireless transmission to
enable alarm activation.
•The transmission needs to be matched between the Dome Head
Site Code on the wireless alarm module & the Site Code within
the PIR detector (see separate PIR installation guide supplied
with the PIR).
•One or more domes wil respond to any wireless PIR within range
providing the Dome Head Site Code & corresponding PIR Site
Code match.

5.1.2 POSITIONING OF RV-PSU-ALM16-W
To maximise the transmission range install the PSU externally with the aerial pointing through the gland towards the
ground. An optional booster aerial (RV-AE434) can be used to significantly improve signal and range. It is recommended to
use the booster aerial if the PIRs are installed on metal clad buildings.
5.2 IF RETRO FITTING WIRELESS ALARM RECEIVER
If Retro-Fitting a wireless alarm receiver card onto an existing 16 way alarm module (RVX-PSU-ALM16-W) observe the
following steps:
A) ISOLATE POWER FROM PSU - YOU CANNOT HOT SWAP WIRELESS ALARM MODULE.
B) Align Wireless Alarm Module with P3 Connector and secure with M3 fixings.
E) Thread aerial antenna through gland and connect to BNC on Wireless Receiver.
F) See Table 19, 5.1.1 for DIP switch settings.
